The silver melts hotter than normal solder. BUT, impurities in the old solder/joint/pipe may cause problems with the flow of silver. It is possible, I've done it. Usually it's easier to do it the right way.

Ben I have one joint , that after 20 Minutes It will grip occasionally ! Drained down twice and re soldered. I also, use My wet vac to purge out any water ! Driven Me nuts . Of course I'm using 95/5 solder. Question, would it help to go over the joint with 50/50 solder ,because of the low melting Temp. ? Thanks Tool
